My Archive Summer 2019 “This is an eastbound J train of the Brooklyn Broadway/Jamaica Avenue EL entering the Van Siclen Avenue Station above Fulton Street in a photo taken by me in August of 1984. This section of the EL was opened in December 1885 and served as the eastern terminus of Brooklyn's first elevated line, the Lexington Avenue EL (which opened in 1885) and the Brooklyn Broadway EL (which opened in 1888) until 1893 when the line was extended to the then Brooklyn City/Queens County border at Cypress Hills; directly across the street from Cypress Hills Cemetery. This is the oldest stretch of unreconstructed elevated railroad structure still in use in the world.” —Eric Smith

Fire at the St. Malachy Parochial School at Atlantic Avenue and Hendrix Street, January 8, 1929. According to a Brooklyn Daily Eagle report bearing the headline "Nun, Clothing Aflame, Saves 213 Children as Parochial School Burns," the fire was attributed to a faulty flue. Sister St. Clare's robes caught fire as she sounded the first alarm, then led the successful evacuation of St. Malachy's pupils. The school building was unsalvageable and razed shortly thereafter.

Isaac Cornel Schenck Homestead, 1946. In 1771, Isaac Cornel Schenck's father Johannes purchased a farm in New Lots and ten years later gave it to his son. The farmland included a house of unknown age. Supposedly in 1791 while Isaac was expanding the home, he discovered musket and a rapier blade marked "1649" in the wall and cannon balls buried in its yard. The farm and farmhouse remained with Isaac Cornel's descendants through 1891 when it was sold to the city of Brooklyn and became part of the newly developed Highland Park. The Parks Department used the structure for park functions for some time. In 1945, Maud Esther Dillard in her book The Dutch Houses of Brooklyn wrote, "Now it stands vacant and desolate and will probably be torn down unless some responsible organization takes it under its wing and furnishes it as a museum." Still standing in 1951 when it was again captured for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, the home was likely demolished soon after.
